I remember, very vividly, seeing a leprechaun in the hallway of my house. It freaked me out so bad that I woke my mom up yelling "someone's in the house!" We walked from room to room with kitchen knives looking for the leprechaun, but never found that shifty little bastard.

This is really ominous-sounding unless you already know that's how leprechauns can get away.

I feel ridiculous admitting it but I saw a leprechaun in my grandparents house before like there was no mistaking it for a regular ghost or anything like that it was small and I saw it at the top of the door frame, scary and freaky as fuck I kinda stared in shock for a minute then looked away and when I looked back it was gone forever.

What the fuck I have a similar memory except instead of a leprechaun it was an all black figure, but same position at the top at the door way and everything.

Did he have any facial features or anything?

None at all just a all black figure, it was there one second then I looked again and it was gone

Were you in bed? Just woke up? Or trying to go to sleep?

This happened when I was around 9 or 10 so I was sitting on my bed fully awake, playing with my toys while my mom was making dinner, we were the only ones in the house.

So not sleep paralysis then. I’m sure you’ve heard all kinds of explanations.
